Fantastic! Another beautiful tall ship to grace the world's oceans. I hope she sails into American waters some time soon.

Here's another historical reconstruction underway in San Diego - Cabrillo's ship the San Salvador:

I'd love to see her in reality rather than just pics and video.

I had planned to go see the launch, but had to cancel my day off and go to the office instead. Meh.
